Grand Theft Auto VI is one of the most anticipated video games of recent years. At this time, it's a mystery when it will hit stores around the world, but clues and reports suggest it could debut in 2024 or 2025. Either way, its release will be a phenomenon that will shake up the gaming industry.
The 2013 installment debuted strongly and sold millions of copies on its first day on the market. Today, almost ten years after its release, it has already sold over 180 million units worldwide.
With this in mind, it's easy to believe that the next video game in the IP, unofficially dubbed Grand Theft Auto VI, will be a commercial success and will reach the hands of millions of fans within days. And yes, an analyst is already predicting that it will generate billions in revenue at launch.
IT SEEMS THAT GRAND THEFT AUTO VI WILL BE A SUCCESS
Analyst Joost van Dreunen predicted that initial sales of GTA VI will approach 25 million units. Speaking to TweakTown, he commented that he arrived at that figure under the assumption that there will be a total installed base of 125 million PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles by 2025.
Therefore, the analyst predicts that Rockstar Games' video game will ship between 12 and 14 million units in its first week of release and expects it to generate $1 billion in revenue from sales during its opening, which isn't an unreasonable figure if we remember that GTA V generated those revenues in just three days.
What's clear is that the new installment in the criminal-themed franchise will be a resounding success, but it will be interesting to see if it can surpass the release of the previous title, which debuted at the end of the PS3 and Xbox 360 cycle. In any case, we remind readers that these are predictions, so we recommend taking this information with a grain of salt.
But tell us, how many copies do you think the video game will sell? Let us know in the comments.
